We head back home tomorrow, and at this point, I'm pretty wiped.
University of Chicago turned out to be all kinds of fantastic. I sat down and talked with one of the directors in the program I'm considering, and have been thoroughly impressed.
I was extremely skeptical upon learning that most of the students in the MAPH writing program form close communities. There's apparently very little competition, and they all regard themselves as being in this incredibly insane, incredibly demanding program. The shocking part is, I think he's right. You might actually be able to turn your back on these people. These days I'm scared to let the other kids in Cherry Hall out of my sight for fear they'll edit me.
Beyond that, check facebook for more. There should be pics soon enough.
